CNN Touts Civilian Service Corps As Way Of Shedding Student Debt


CNN has some advice for any former students now saddled with excess debt carry out a decade of social work or join the ranks of the governments civilian service corps. CNN business news correspondent Stephanie Elam put on the hard sell for government service to viewers of Newsroom. This is really about helping those people out, getting them ready as far as the choice for best course of study for the financial future, Elam told viewers. So you may consider the possibility of enlisting in public service. Demand is really high right now for government jobs and any remaining debt on federal student loans will be forgiven after you work full-time in public service for ten years. Elam continued. But to get this benefit, you need to take out your loan from a federal lender as opposed to a private one like Sallie Mae, she continued, apparently auditioning for the role of Obamas public service czar. CNNs national public service broadcast continued as Elam then touted AmeriCorps and the Peace Corp service: Theyre not going to forgive your loan, but if you do have service that you provide to AmeriCorps, you will enjoy loan forbearance, and what that really means is you wont be have to make any payments while youre serving, and AmeriCorps volunteers are also eligible for an education reward for $5350, the anchor said. Elam then added four full years of Peace Corps service will equal a 70 percent cancellation of an existing Perkins loan.

    If you dont have a shirt put on a brown shirt!!! or in this case a green shirt. I was brought up to believe the politicians serve us not the other way around. They will “forgive” our loans lol Im pretty sure chinaand japan and any other debt holders that the congress has borrowed from will not “forgive ” anything unless congress serves them!

    Progressive Social-Fascists in Congress or the courts ignore the FACT that the 10th Amendment LIMITES the scope of the Commerce and General Welfare clauses.

    We the People MUST ignore the 16th Amendment in order to limit Congressional spending power. Dont File and Dont Pay!!! It is OUR DUTY as a FREE PEOPLE!

    The 2nd Amendment exists so that WE can defend OUR LIBERTY from gov’t Tyranny!

    No offense to blacks but of course two blacks are talking about this. A group kept down by democrats while being brainwashed with Rap music, food stamps and welfare and racism against anyone succesful. If a black guy becomes successful through education then the blacks attack them, if you become successful through the demonization of women then you’re a hero. This lady should be ashamed of her self.

    Another leach to fascism because she is to stupid to read history.

    create a problem and have a solution.

  • BankScamTakeover says:

    Look at the language! “loan forgiveness” as if it’s your fault for taking out a loan, and need forgiving. They made trillions from derivatives. See how we’re transitioning into a socialist/fascist/collectivist society, as if YOU have a debt that needs to be paid to the whole. This is mental manipulation; a semantics game based on lies and deceit. You all know where this road ends, my friends!

  • bar730 says:

    What a disgrace this is to all the people who fought and died for freedom in this country.I puked a little in my mouth when she said..”So thats really not a bad deal Tony”.So obviously indentured servitude to the state is no longer a bad deal in this country……………..This is our fault!

  • maximusdecimus888 says:

    Through carefully crafted complicated layer after layer of taxation, they are launching an all out attack on the private sector. This is the only way they see to contain their opposition to fascist policy from a strong middle class. Resistance and dissent is our duty as free Americans.
